Follow Me

Follow Me 8X10 Oil on Canvas $100

This seagull followed me where ever I went. At one point I thought he was going to fly at my canvas. Couldn't quite figure out what the attraction was on his part. Do Sea Gulls like oil paint? Maybe he thought the paint was something worth eating.

Stroll

Stroll, Oil on W&N canvas board, 10X14 $100

This is also from Kalaloch Beach. We camped here for a few nights and I tackled some on site painting. At one point I had a sea gull following me. I was wondering if he was going to attack my palette. The sand was flying into the paint, things were falling over and I did wonder what I was trying to prove. I perservered. To me these experiences are invaluable.

This painting is from the memory of that day.
